Rio Olympics and World Championship silver medallist P V Sindhu stood one step away from winning the Korea Open Super Series after advancing to the finals of the women's singles event in Seoul on Saturday.

The 22-year-old Indian defeated sixth-seeded Chinese He Bingjiao 21-10 17-21 21-16 in the semi-finals that lasted for an hour and six minutes.

Sindhu thus set up a mouth-watering a clash with Japan's Nozomi Okuhara, her nemesis at the recent World Championship final, which saw the two battle for an hour and 50 minutes at Glasgow last month.
